>Description:
The distfile for pkgsrc/editors/elvis contains a file with the
sticky bit set.  "make extract" (which invokes "/bin/tar -xf -")
is unable to extract it.

I think this is a pax-as-tar bug (not a pkgsrc bug), because tar was
not passed the "-p" option, so it should not be trying to preserve the
sticky bit.

If you try "make PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 extract", you can see that it is running
the following command:

/usr/bin/gzcat /usr/pkgsrc/distfiles/elvis-2.2_0.tar.gz | /bin/tar -xf -
